Hey now, when ya see tears comin' from my eyes
Oh yes, oh yes people, yes, I could cry
Oh, I know you see those big tears come from my eyes
From the bottom of my heart, baby, you know I can cry
You know, my mother told me when I was a little boy
She said, "Someday son, you will have the reason why"
You know why
I lay awake at night because of love
Lord I have so much trouble
I lay awake, I lay awake at night because of trouble
Because of so much trouble
People, I just can't, I just can't sleep no more, yeah
All the critters have come to keep me company
You know there's a lonesome wind blowin' around my door
